Quick Ship Palettes

BrochureArt Direction/Design/Cover Photography: Molly McPeake

Designers often face “right now” projects where digging through dozens of sample books to find the perfect shade of grey just isn’t an option, so we did the digging for them. Quickship Basics is a collection of Interface’s most popular products that are in stock and ready for shipment. Quickship Palettes is a designer’s handbook that references some of our product stylists’ favorite color combinations for when you need a quick fix.

Idle Hands

MagazineArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

Idle Hands is a magazine themed after the do-it-yourself mindset and the culture of those who create. Although inspired by other crafty publications, Idle Hands reaches out to a younger generation. No antiquated crafts will be found in these pages - instead only hip, witty, and eclectic ideas. Crafter’s will swoon over this design conscious DIY guide.

AS400

T-shirtArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake & John Petri

This shirt was created to highlight the transition from the old AS400 inventory management system to a more modern program. It was inspired by the classic Apple II computer critical error message and aimed to remind employees of the impending switch to a new system.

Curse

Book JacketArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

This book cover was designed for upcoming author Allie Fisher for her debut novel “The Curse”. The plot centers on a young photographer who becomes entangled in a web of supernatural intrigue. The cover conveys these themes through the use of a classic camera viewfinder motif over a defocused and foreboding landscape.

Peggy Wagner

Identity SystemArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

This identity system was made for Peggy Wagner who runs her own math tutoring service. I used basic concepts from trigonometry to visually break letters into their composite lines, angles, and curves. The resulting design evokes a mathematical aesthetic that conveys the message clearly while maintaining its thematic elements.

Complete Picture

Drawing CardsArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake & John Petri

These illustration cards are inspired by Unboundary’s 2011 Greenbuild concept: “The Complete Picture Changes Everything”. Interface pledged to obtain Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all products. This pledge did more than simply highlight a personal commitment to transparency; it also issued a challenge to raise sustainability standards across the entire industry. Trade show attendees were asked to draw their interpretation of the below illustration cards before the reverse image was revealed – only to find that seeing the complete picture changes everything.

Act Natural Animation

AnimationCreative Direction: Russ Ramage, Son & Sons

Design: Molly McPeake

This animation is from the Act Natural campaign described previously. I used a growing organic motif to highlight the major emphasis of the campaign - biophilia and biomimicry. The growth of the patterns not only catches the eye, but also serves as a natural expression of all that Act Natural stands for.

Act Natural

NeoCon 2012 showcased Act Natural, highlighting Interface’s product Urban Retreat. The product incorporates learnings from biophilia (literally: love of nature) to biomimicry – the “head and heart” of our connection to the natural world. Urban retreat bridges the gap between natural and urban environments by evoking the quiet sanctuary of an old-growth forest floor all the way down to the lichen-covered stone. This message grows organically across every touch point of the 2011 NeoCon showroom and product launch.

Ray Anderson

AnimationArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

This animation celebrates the life and ideals of Ray Anderson, the founder of InterfaceFlor. The opening motif makes use of the little squares of carpet that have defined Interface for decades, fading into an image of Ray. Textual highlights tell the story of Ray’s mission of sustainability, contributing to a total design that tells the viewer who Ray is and what he stands for.

Raw

AnimationArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake & John Petri

Raw is all about the beauty that can be found as time flows on, changing everything around it. The animation evokes the progression of aging in the mind of the viewer and contrasts this destructive process with beautiful imagery. These opposing vignettes beget the underlying truth of raw: that age and beauty are two sides of the same coin.

HD Expo

People Design keenly branded Interface Hospitality’s mantra as DYF –design your floor– because designers are given the option to create a floor that is unique to them. The mix and match selections made of textured patterns and custom colors allow infinite solutions for public spaces, corridors, and guest rooms. This mantra is highlighted in custom product development pages as well as a multitude of imagery showcasing beautiful birds eye installations.

Little owl

InvitationArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

Mischievous Rabbit

Identity SystemArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

The Mischievous Rabbit is a children’s clothing store based out of California. The concept for this identity system stemmed from the meaning of the word ‘mischievous’. The letters ‘c’ and ‘e’ are slightly turned as if they were misbehaving. The rabbit icon shares the same curious nature with his wide eyed unassuming expression.

Net Effect

Net Effect is inspired both by the ocean’s life-giving power and its plight – marine life and habitats that are endangered by discarded finishing nets. By partnering with Aquafil, a key Interface yarn supplier, these discarded fishing nets have paved the way for an inclusive business model. Interface and Aquafil developed a local reclamation system for these nets that is able to improve residents’ livelihoods by providing new community banking institutions that offer long-term solutions to poverty. These same nets account for the world’s cleanest and most abundant supply of post-consumer nylon, the same raw material as carpet yarn. Net Effect reminds NeoCon 2013 attendees that beautiful design doesn’t stop at the product, but rather extends to the story behind it.

Namaste

Pitch BookArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake & Avis Woods

Namaste by Nike is a line designed exclusively for the yoga enthusiast. The name Namaste is derived from the Indian sub-continent where it is spoken to signify respect towards the yoga instructor as well as to mark the end of a work out. Nature infused with local culture serves as the primary muse for the art direction behind the line, with inspiration drawn from henna tattoos and flowers to create the pattern motif. The brand focuses on environmentally conscious design - each element is made from 100% post consumer recycled materials.

Ringlez

PackagingArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

Ringlez is a new hair product that curls hair without all of the effort. The owner of the product, Pamela King, contacted me to design custom packaging. She wanted a 70’s “flower child” aesthetic, and this is represented in all of the packages shown here through the use of retro typefaces and hip patterning.

Boomerang

Digital BrochureArt Direction: Jay RogersDesign: Molly McPeake

During my internship at Cartoon Network I had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects. This digital brochure for Boomerang was designed to advertise the channel as a family friendly station; parents could reminisce and enjoy old cartoon favorites with their children. The Power Puff Girls and Teen Titans were to be the prominent characters because of their new status as cartoon classics.

Cartoon Network

NotebookArt Direction: Jay RogersDesign: Molly McPeake

This notebook was created as a promotional piece for Cartoon Network’s licensing show. The concept behind the notebook is focused on the idea of invasion; how Cartoon Network invades a boy’s space and vice-versa. The hottest characters are accentuated in action packed poses framed with a rough black textured edge - giving the overall design a distressed motif.

Fox Theater Institute

Identity SystemArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

The Fox Theater Institute is dedicated to helping Georgia theaters make educated decisions regarding historic preservation and promotion of their buildings. The design of this logo is inspired by the interior of the Fox with Moroccan tiles lining the walls and floors. The emblem combines a Moroccan pattern with the degrees of a compass. Fox Theater Institute is represented by the center of the compass in red thus demonstrating they are leading the way in historic design.

RIP Walkman

Cassette Jacket Art Direction/Design: Molly McPeake

This piece is something that I custom designed as part of a Christmas present for my close friends. When I heard the news that Sony was discontinuing their legendary Walkman line, I decided to buy them as gifts, along with a custom mixtape bearing the tape jacket seen here. I went for an “MTV Classic” look that captures the spirit of the Walkman’s heyday to help my friends remember all of the great music heard through the iconic device.

Planks

PosterArt Direction/Design: Molly McPeake & John Petri

Recently, Inteface added a new shape of carpet for the first time: planks. This new shape works with the old squares to allow for new possibilities, and this feature is highlighted in the poster with a sharp corner that would be inaccessible to traditional squares. The overall design uses a classic Interface style to highlight the new product and bring it into the Interface brand.
